No No, the OTHER Obama

So it turns out there's a port city in Japan named Obama. (Literally, "Small Beach".) Obama is known for their fine lacquered chopsticks, Yamato-dynasty temples, agate accessories, and fishing, as well as the Research Center for Marine Bioresources at the Fukui Prefectural University.

You'll occasionally hear me talk about wanting to take a long vacation to visit the temples of Asia.  This would include Myotsu-ji Temple (which has some fancy gardens to match), which is located in Obama.

The city of Obama has been very excited about Barrack Obama's rise to political power, and have sent him numerous gifts.
